I entered the Breath of the Wild drawing, despite not owning a Switch.
Should I win, I'll see this as a sign and finally buy the console. Witness me.

140 people entered to win BOTW (so far).

Meaning, 140 Switch owners who didn't buy BOTW as their first Switch game.

Grats to whoever wins, it's one of the best games ever made.

I've been meaning to buy a switch for myself and I did consider this too but I felt it was sort of against the spirit of the thread so I've held back for now. Good luck though!
I've been meaning to buy one too, but a little voice in my head always asks "Why now?". This would finally silence that voice.
If the gift giver has a problem with that approach, I'll gladly withdraw or, should I happen to win accidentally, re-gift.

No, I don't really have a problem if you are gonna grab the console to use it on.

I'd only ever really have issue if someone won the code to just sit on it, or resell it, which I feel like everyone would. But, I know I can't ever know what happens after GiftBot picks the winner so, I just always hope for the best case :)

That is very generous of you. You have been giving away a lot of fantastic games too.

Since we're heading up to Christmas though I really don't want to be spending right now so I guess my switch will have to wait. I want to budget so I can buy nicer things or maybe take a small trip with some of my family this year.

I do own BotW, but a really good friend really wants to play it and she doesn't have the money for something like that right now. It would be a really great present.

Im also in this boat. I try to only enter games I'm interested in and haven't played, but I know a friend of mine would *really* appreciate this.

All these moral people in this thread. pfff
I have played BotW to death. Was thinking of entering so I can sell the key for cash. What is wrong with you? Life has presented you with an opportunity.

I will need your steam account info to send the gift to the respective winners!

Info on included contents:
  • "Unknown package 33318"
    • Since I know that some of you like a bit of added mystery sauce to their gambling, I've added this with the exact name it has in my steam inventory. I did some research of what it could actually be and can't even guarantee if it is still actually redeemable, so enter at your own risk! ;)

How does the original trilogy hold up? I've never played any of them, and know only that people compare the gunplay/camera to RE4. I'd love to give it a try if PC became an option.

I only replayed Gears 1 (in Ultimate Edition remake) in recent year, but had a lot of fun. Gears has a similar camera to RE4, but combat is different. Game itself is more action-oriented. If you played any cover-based third person shooter released in a last decade, you may know what to expect. Most of TPS from a previous generation were roughly inspired by Gears of War in some form or another. It's one of these games that you will either love or straight dislike, but it depends if you will like the setting, characters, or you just want to play multiplayer or campaign in co-op. Each game supports co-op, some only up to 2 players, others had co-op up to 4 players.

If you are interested in playing on PC, the following games are available on this platform - Gears 1: Ultimate Edition (Microsoft Store), Gears 4 (Microsoft Store), Gears 5 (Microsoft Store and Steam). I wouldn't be suprised if there will be more games on Steam, but this depends from the sales. Considering the way MS is handling GamePass, it's hard to say either Gears 5 on Steam was a success or not. There was also a PC release of original Gears 1, which was released more than ten years ago, but tracking a DVD with it may provide a challenge.

Does anyone else love the giftbox alerts when you lose? Like okay I lost but it does keep you on your toes to get back in the thread and look up new giveaways.

Wow. That's a nice little Switch prize. Good way for someone to potentially win one of the previous Switch prizes that they may have missed out on.

Big thanks to Orbis for the giveaway. Going to use this chance to catch up on this gem I heard a lot of positive things about in the steamworld series.
Only managed to finish the dig games so far.
